Middelburg: the building, the weather and the yards
Frost on winter mornings is the first thing a Middelburg brick maker plans around. Cement bricks made on a slab in June need covering overnight, or the surface flakes and the strength never comes. The town builds steadily: family homes and townhouses in Aerorand and Kanonkop, RDP and self-built houses in Mhluzi, workshops for the steel works and mines, and farm sheds and staff houses out on the Hendrina and Belfast roads. Brickyards and block yards in town carry stock and clay face bricks come in from bigger works. Plenty of people start a small brick business here with a manual or electric machine. Ask for delivery with offloading if the site is a farm or a narrow township street.
